Florent Vidal

I started to discover wedding photo-reportage ten years ago in Paris, France. Since 2005 I've been based in Sydney, Australia and shoot weddings all around Australia, the Pacific islands, Asia and Europe. I offer couples a photo-reportage of their wedding day on a natural and unobtrusive way. My aim is to create images that mean something; images that carry feelings and emotions. I see my photography as elegant and timeless.
Please visit my website and drop me an email to chat about your wedding.

"Hope you are well! We just received the Photos - Thank you sooooooo- much they are fantastic! It has been like re-living the wedding just going through them on the prints.

Working with you is such a pleasure, you make everything so easy. We really cannot thank you enough for the time and effort you put into our wedding and for the fantastic result. I cant imagine how people feel if they dont receive their wedding photos or if they are crap. Ours/yours are exactly as we wanted, i feel like i just re-lived the whole thing and that is priceless. For all the rubbish that we went through on some things with the wedding, we have equally met some fantastic people and you are one of them. Your photographs are outstanding and the way you were so patient and helpful on the day, well, we are indebted to you. This was sooo important to me and you have exceeded my expectations. THank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" show less
